“There’s one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.”

I’m starting to see players copy what I do. I’m flattered.

If Lebron was playing in the late 80’s and early 90’s, just an average player

As long as I play ball, I can get any woman I want.

I don’t fit into the mold of the NBA man, and I think I’ve been punished financially for it.

I could never take orders from anyone.

I wish I could say I see my little brother more.

But I always believed that I could be something special. I just had to prove it to myself.

The poor folk gladly came to me, for I did them no unkindness, but helped them as much as I could.

A dog, for me, it’s not just getting a dog. I couldn’t leave him at home.
